Allotment 12

I've been struggling to find the time to sit back and actually enjoy the allotment this year, what with a busy work schedule and trying to fit in visits to Wales too. Thankfully that's all changed since my Gardena Aquazoom Sprinkler arrived on the plot and it'...

A little bit of a rushed blog post this morning as we are busy getting ready to leave and set up the Lavender and Leeks stall at the Woburn Abbey Garden Show this coming Saturday and Sunday. However I couldn't leave without showing you all what I was up too in...

I've always grown flowers on plot 15c right from the very beginning, in fact the first thing I ever planted out back in July 2013 was Lavender. Since then my love of flowers has bloomed and I've dedicated a whole border to them, a wildlife patch brimming with ...

Lately I've been feeling so overwhelmed with love and admiration for my little plot and since I acquired it 5 years ago it's turned into so much more than just an allotment. It's my little haven, my happy place and I love it so much! I know it might sound odd ...

Early mornings up the allotment are my favourite, not only is it peaceful and so much cooler in those early hours but the morning sun light always takes my breath away. Somehow it manages to make the allotment look so much more green and lush, leaving a magica...

I still can't quite believe it's the first of June today, I have no idea where May went but my favourite month seemed to pass me by in a flash! It might have had something to do with all the garden shows we were touring at this past month, every weekend we wer...

I had planned to pop up the allotment yesterday evening to continue weeding the fruit cage but I was just so exhausted... It's been non stop here for the past 9 days and after spending all afternoon packing the van for the next show at Hylands House in Chelmsf...

Well hasn't this bank holiday just been beautiful? We've had blue skies and pure sunshine for 3 whole days and I've enjoyed snippets up at my favourite place plus a trip to Parham Gardens! (blog post to follow shortly)
It's been far too hot really to spend ...

It's been a glorious long weekend and it isn't over yet! It all started in Saturday when I found a spare 3 hours to head up the allotment, there were a few important jobs that had to be done and if I'm being honest I couldn't wait to step onto my little slice ...

I love this time of year... the signs of new growth, the longer days, the excitement and most of all the blossom. My little three year old apple tree has never failed to make me smile even though I've never picked a harvest from it yet. Those pale pink, delica...

The allotment is slowly coming together, soon it will be covered in lush green vegetables and beautiful flowers... I really can't wait! Last Saturday I planted out my first row of seedlings as well as a few flowers and it got me all excited for the long Summer...

So today Saturday didn't quite go to plan but it ended up being one of the best days ever spent up the allotment and most importantly getting jobs ticked off that list. It started with filming a vlog in the greenhouse, there was a thick layer of fog everywhere...
